The idea of impeaching Obama is industrial-strength insane. Republicans will probably try anyway, predicts Michael Tomasky.
When the histories of this administration are written, I hope fervently that last Friday, May 10, does not figure prominently in them. But I fear that it might: the double-barrel revelations that the White House hasnt quite been telling the whole story on Benghazi and that some mid-level IRS people targeted some Tea Party groups for scrutiny are guaranteed to ramp up the crazy.

I agree, not going to happen unless some smoking gun comes out directly linking potus to a crime in committed in this affair.

Sidney Poitier was never forced to play a bad guy, Bill Cosby was never not funny, B.B. King never made a bad record, Whippie Goldburgh has talent, there are no bad soul food restaurants, the Greeks stoled Western Civilization from African-American Egyptians, impeachment will happen, pigs don’t know how to fly, but they sure can learn.
